Welcome to the photography website of Dafydd Owen.
On these pages you will find select sets and individual photos from my passion for photography, I hope there will be something that you like.
Having been photographing much longer than this site has been going - only a few sets have made it up so far but I'm regularly working on adding new and archived sets (particularly my nightclub Galleries) so please check back regularly.
To let you know when I've added new sets you can sign up to my newsletter (fairly irregular) or subscribe to my Updates news feed, both of these can be found on my Contact Page.
Additionally please feel free to get in touch for whatever reason, photo use, commissions or just a chat.

Friends on ocassion have mentioned that I don't do B&W. Turns out this set largely looked better in B&W so a whole set of it!

Jaytech photo used on his new album : Everything is Ok
A photo from my recent set with Jaytech has been used for the sleeve art of his new album "Everything is Ok". The CD is out on 23/06/2008, you can check it out here :Everything is Ok at CDShop I highly suggest you give Highway Rockers a listen.
Although I've had photos in album sleeves before (Ministry of Sound : Hardcore 2007) this is the first one of a decent size and a nice credit.

Poppy Calander Project
A series of shoots for my friend Poppy through 2007 to 2008 for a present for her boyfriend Ed Real. Lucky man. You can only guess at the ones you're not allowed to see.
Was one of my first proper "Projects" so was a great experience.

Morocco 2005
Talking to friends about them going to Morocco inspired me to dig this set out and actually do something with it 3 years later!
2 weeks on my own in Morocco in February. Was a lovely exploring type holiday, and an excercise in NOT plannig and just going with the flow.
I had a Hotel booked for a few nights initially in Marrakesh but then it was go with the flow. Started out in Marrakesh, in a lovely Riad Hotel enjoying the souks and food in the main square.
Then a 5 day trip into the Sahara visiting many Kasbah's along the way. Sodd's law - only 100m into the desert on camel-back and my camera battery dies! The spare being back in Marrakesh!!! ARGH!
Ah well - lesson learnt but no photos of the night + morning in the bedouin tent. After that a quick trip to Rabat - the capital city, then Cascades d'Ouzoud in the hills. Amazing waterfalls but damn cold in February with no heating! Didn't think I'd be so cold in Morocco, ha!
Then finally a few days in the gorgeous costal town of Essouira - somewhere I'd love to go back to and spend more time there.

New section - Concerts
Just added a new section under Events - Concerts. Only one set in there so far - Faithless at Wembley in 2007 but going to a gig recently (Gogol Bordello at Brixton Academy - great band) has given me motivation to try my hand at live Concert photography - mostly bands etc.
Not sure how long this fancy of mine will last, but I'm going to see where it takes me.
